Who is Sandeep Kumar? A brief profile of sacked AAP minister

Sandeep Kumar was Cabinet Minister in Delhi’s AAP government. He holds the portfolios of Social Welfare, Women & Child, SC & ST and Language. Kumar is 34 years old and holds BA and LLB degree as educational qualification.

A lawyer by profession, Sandeep Kumar won by one of the biggest margins in the Delhi elections and was rewarded with a ministerial berth for working to help the party expand its base at the grass-root level.  34-year-old Kumar had defeated four-time MLA from Sultanpur Majra, Jai Kishen, by 64,439 votes getting the giant-killer tag. He is known to contest cases of the poor and socially backward persons free of cost.

On March 8, International Women’s Day, the 34-year-old minister had thanked wife Ritu for the “sacrifices” she had made for him, and, to thunderous applause from a packed auditorium at the Delhi Secretariat, added, “Main roz subah inke pair chhoota hoon (I touch her feet every morning).”
